 REGIONAL INTERDEPENDENCE[edit | edit source]

  • Regional interdependence is the concept that a musculoskeletal treatment targeting a specific area of the body could have effects in another, seemingly unrelated, part of the body[1].
  • There is a growing body of evidence to support the treatment of Low Back Pain through interventions aimed at the thoracic spine and the hip joints. 

EXAMINATION [edit | edit source]

INTERVENTIONS[edit | edit source]


Thoracic Spine[2][edit | edit source]

Manipulation

  • Supine Thoracic Posterior to Anterior HVLA Manipulation

   

Hip[3][4][5][6][7][edit | edit source]

Manipulation

  • Supine Long Axis Distraction Thrust Manipulation[7]

  

Mobilizations

   Supine Hip Caudal Glide.JPG


   Prone Hip Posterior to Anterior Glide.JPG


  • Hip Posterior to Anterior Mobilization with Flexion, Abduction, and External Rotation[7]

Hip PA with flex, abd, ER.JPG

  • Hip Anterior to Posterior Mobilization with Flexion, Adduction, and Internal Rotation[7]      

Hip AP with flex add IR.JPG

  

Therapeutic Exercise

  •  Strengthening

          - Hip Abduction with slight extension and internal rotation[5]

 Clinical Implications
[edit | edit source]

  • Utilizing manual therapy interventions targeted at the hip and thoracic spine along with therapeutic exercise has been shown to provide improved outcomes for patients with low back pain. Clinicians should consider these interventions along with treatments focused on the low back to treat the entire patient and achieve improved results. Additional information can be found in the references listed below.
